The suit seeking to declare the impeachment of Shuaib as unlawful, illegal, unconstitutional, null and void was on Wednesday put off till June 28 by Justice James Kolawole Omotoso following the absence of some of the defendants in court. At Wednesday's proceedings, lead counsel to Phillip Shaibu, Ayotunde Ogunleye, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, informed the court that the matter was initially slated for Monday, June 3. He said the strike by the organized labour affected the date.
Justice Omotoso had two weeks ago granted permission to Shaibu to join the Speaker of the State’s House of Assembly in his suit challenging his impeachment before the court. The court also granted the plea of the former Deputy Governor to join his successor as a defendant in the suit. The Judge while delivering a ruling in an application agreed with the plaintiff’s counsel, Ayotunde Ogunleye, SAN, that both the Speaker and the new deputy governor are necessary parties in the suit.
